Hello there, my name is Frida Knoke, I am the creator and artist behind Serafina by Frida. I am an artist working from Sydney, Australia, who specialises mostly in watercolour/ acrylic painting, illustration, and ceramics. I am a highly experimental artist who revels in the opportunity to utilise exciting new materials and mediums for my works.

This passion for exploration in art has led to a unique and playful nature in my pieces which I love sharing with others.

My painting and drawing journey have been a path I have always travelled, it’s something that I have enjoyed for as long as I can remember. Ceramics on the other hand came later in my life when I attended the National Art School in Sydney and discovered the many wonders of clay and soon realised I can integrate my love of painting and colour into my ceramic creations.

My inspiration draws heavily from both the fantastical and the real, a fusion of the beauty of natural landscapes, flora and fauna and the childhood dreams and mythologies I encountered growing up. My passion for the natural world stems from the majestic forests of Scandinavia and the beautiful beaches of Australia, a representation of my dual heritage and love of these lands. My dive into the world of fantasy pulls inspiration from the whimsical elements from folklore and fairytales, both dark and sweet.

Everything I create is made with so much love and passion which I hope shines through each piece to bring a little joy and magic to my viewers.
